The Philadelphia Eagles released the veteran cornerback Darius Slay, and if he isn't brought back on a cheaper deal, he will have left behind a strong legacy.

The Eagles could cut more players after releasing Darius Slay — potential cap-saving moves for James Bradberry, Bryce Huff, Dallas Goedert and Lane Johnson.

Over the last five years, Roseman and the front office have built a young defensive core with plenty of solid depth along the way. Cornerbacks like Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo were brought in to backup Slay and first-round rookie Quinyon Mitchell. Both have looked the part as potential starters in this league.
